Obviously currently this doesn’t happen, but assuming there would be some techniques or devices for learning more – would there be a limit to how much our neural networks in the brain can store?

Did you watch the Doctor Who episode, The Woman Who Lived? This character became effectively immortal during the Danelaw period of England. As the years decades and centuries passed, her brain reached its limit of memory storage and had to write backup journals of her life to the point that she had bookshelves of journals of just her memories.
Our brains tend to act like the recycle bin on our computers.
If you don’t know what the recycle bin does for your computer it just allows for the data that you put into it to be flagged to be overwritten.
Our brains do this constantly, the saying “use it or lose it” is a good saying for our brains as well as our muscles.
Say if Einstein just studied constantly, he would never hit a “limit”. His brain would just replace old information with new information that’s more present. It’s still possible to remember that old information but it will be in fragments of what it originally was.
Like our childhood memories, we can imagine a few but we can barely recall every single day of every single minute.
Can’t explain it like you’re five, but I did read this a few weeks ago. It’s about a women who practically remembers most of her life! Especially the part about being a baby is so weird.

the brain tends to store patterns, not information. meaning, u can learn something and re-learn the nuance of new info fairly quickly once u use the pattern matching
This is why I find it odd that people, well, literature and movies, often say immortality is boring.
like how would you fucking know? I would love to learn all there is and that never runs dry.
how long does I take you one to be a physician? then be a surgeon? the best in every part and sickness of the human body. And sickness evolves. Then animals. plants. imagine being a master of healing. its a skill that evolves.
how about killing? weapons? arts? engineering? politics? histo fucking ry.
if life is change, how can living forever be ever boring.
